In a world driven by big data, many employers in government departments, businesses and libraries now look for graduates with Master's-level education. Victoria University of Wellington is the only university in New Zealand that offers postgraduate qualifications in Information Studies.
Information comes in many forms. Explore how it's managed by businesses and organisations, and gain an awareness of current information management issues.
Learn about information storage and retrieval, while gaining skills in management and communication, information technology and research methods. And you can choose to study online in your own time—or on campus.
If you're looking to develop your career in data management, libraries, archives or records management, Information Studies is right for you.
As a research archivist at New Zealand’s largest public archive, I get to work with an amazing collection and with a range of research requests every day. My work also involves outreach initiatives such as tours, social media and exhibitions—topics that were well covered by the courses I took.
